Blondies!

We love this rich, ,moist version of brownies that we call "blondies" because they are lighter on the chocolate than most brownies.

4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt

Cream sugar and butter together.  Add eggs, mix well.  Add flour, vanilla, salt and cocoa.  Mix well (but don't over mix).  Spread into a greased 9X13 pan.  350 degree oven for 40 minutes.  Top with chocolate frosting.

Notes: My husband loved the combo of this with his mother's cinnamon syrup.  I found it a bit runny and messy, and wanting a little, but until I find a *perfect* one, this will do.  I doubled the recipe and barely fed 7 people.
